Actually, Framework, I can see how you could make that argument. So I've gone back and made a couple changes that I think would protect him. As they are at the door of the bedroom, I am inserting the following:

Quote
“I could take you back to Metropolis. Maybe we should do that before...” he started, only to be cut off when she pulled his head down to claim his mouth, running her hands through his hair.

“Later,” she objected when she came up for air. “Much later.” With that, she kissed him again, her hands leaving his hair to wrap tightly around his neck.
Does that address your concerns?

EDIT TO ADD: I also added this to their discussion the following morning:

Quote
“And if you recall correctly, I offered to take you back to Metropolis before we even slept together. You were the one who insisted on not waiting.”
Oh, and you'll get more on her thinking at the time when she's taking her shower the next morning that I think might address any lingering concerns you might have.

She was in such a good mood she let all the pedestrians in the crosswalk get to safety before taking off again.
